memo fields blur in acc '97

Hello,

In an Access 97 database, there is a table that has some Memo-fields. Some
of the memo-fields (not all) with a lot of text in it, display the data
blurred all over each other (two textlines are written over each other at
the same time). These memo-fields become unreadable by this. Does anyone
know how to solve this?

Thanx,

Remco

I had a similar problem where Access 97 was having trouble displaying
controls on a form rather than a memo field from a table. I found the
latest video driver, installed it and the problem went away.

I have 5 memo fields in one of my tables. I need to add 7 more. Will this be a problem? Am I being paranoid? Thanks

I have a query that combines the results of three related tables. The memo fields are truncated to 255 characters, but I need all the information in them. I'm aware that removing code such as DISTINCT and GROUPBY will fix this problem (as discussed in other threads in this group), but I need to limit the query results to unique values, which is what DISTINCT does for me. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jacob

This: TRANSFORM First(.Text) AS FirstOfText SELECT .Expr1000 FROM _allText GROUP BY .Expr1000 PIVOT .LetterSectionID; hangs the application if _allText.Text is a memo field. But it's fine if it's a text field.

This is mainly a speed question. In this example: I have a QuotesHdr table that has a few memo fields. If these memo fields are used extensively by some users, and if their are a large number of records in QuotesHdr, should I break out the memo fields into a separate table? The thinking here is that, for Quotes selection dropdowns that display all entries in QuotesHdr for selection, I would think that the entire record comes down over...

I have a table with 250 fields. Of course you are wondering why 250 fields... what could I possibly be storing in so many fields? I am using this table as a general import table for files that vary based on user selections. The input files are CSVs and can number from 2 to 175 columns. Each field is usually able to fit into a Text field (< 255 characters) but every now and then a longer field creeps in. since I don't know in which column...

I've been asked to construct a database which will require several memo fields. This database will be the standard frontend/backend mdb configuration. I have read many posts describing the corruption problems associated with memo fields, especially in a networked environment. Am I asking for trouble if I go ahead with this project?

Hi all, I have 3 memo fields on my main table. I understand that they are susceptible to corruption over network environments. I am looking to move these memo fields in to seperate tables and I assume create a 1:1 relationship with my main table. I have created the tables with a primary key and a foreign key and joined them to the primary key of the main table with integrity applied. My issue is, I have a number of forms where the memo...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
